Resumen
VILHENA, Carla Cardoso y FERREIRA, António Gomes. Para bem formar uma personalidade normal. Discursos sobre como educar as crianças em revistas de Educação Familiar (1945-1958). Rev. Bras. Hist. Educ [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.02, pp.23-51. ISSN 2238-0094.
The main purpose of this article was to analyze the discourses about the socio-emotional development of children published in Portuguese parenting magazines, between 1945 and 1958, period when experts, such as doctors and psy experts, became increasingly concerned with the socio-emotional well-being of children. The analysis shows that magazine contributors constructed socio-emotional development of children as fragile, with its normality constantly threatened by parents’ improper attitudes and behaviors. We argue that it constitutes a powerful argument in favor of a growing intervention of psy experts in family life that played, in the second half of the 20th century, a key role in parenthood and childhood government.
